yeah, if you havegot both shots with the summ, i think the summoners will get too powerful. it would be like balista shot & cata shot in one unit.

The summoner does much less damage than a cata. But I also suggested to make the summoner a little bit more expensive if he gets both attacks.The other possibility is to have a control for gravity (for instance by keeping the mouse button pressed).This would work like the bow in reverse (the more you press, the more shot is lobbed).

I REALLY like this idea, it would take pretty good skill to be able to precisely use it well, and this would make it more of a vet thing to do, who tend to last better in battle as a summ then newbies.

This might not be that easy to do. Not that useful either. If you want control, why don't we give it a controllable "swarm slash projectile" that after shooting, you can change direction a little bit, if you want and have the skill for it, before it hits the target

YEAH!Like the rocket launcher in BF2, that tries to follow the crosshair!That would be really cool, and we could then just keep one weapon for the summ.

Never played BF2... Is it like the same like in hl2? Then its just too overpowered... I have no problems zigzagging through all that towerspam if i could be able to control it like in hl2... I like that reverse-bow idea more :]

That could work as well. In fact, it would make it so a summoner would have to make a summoner stand still for it to go straight (or have really good mouse-work). It would make them more like a bali, which is fine by me because I only play humans. :p

But.. Why dont you just go over the towers, count the time it takes to reach the shield and pull hard down? Thats really easy, especially if you've ever used those mouse-controlled rpgs... (hl2, bf2) Even from ground, it would be very easy for everyone to take down the goddamn shield. + theres no way to build defences up there. Unless some portable occluder is implemented, but that would be too easy to abuse.

"Good commanders know how to create impenetrable bases with inaccessible shields.This can cause endless games that end in a draw (unless someone manages to shimmy his way to the shield). "

To bad this isn't the case with humans on Leet anymore. I can count on my hand the amount of GOOD human commanders that play on leet anymore, and most of them seem to prefer to command beast anyways so, it is very, very rare to see a GOOD human commander anymore, and this is coming from someone who sits on Leet 6+ hours a DAY, watching everything.

If you really want to kill and destroy the entirety of the US population and servers then make it even harder and more discouraging to command humans, and with no apparent ease in the future this will be a nail in the coffin.

Unless something else is change to ENCOURAGE more human commanders which has been desperately needed for over a year now, which I've suggested before with changing how towers work for humans, then this would be a horrible idea, if somethings done then yes this will work.

I don't think balances should be made due to a lack of skill of the savage population.

However, I do not think that summoners need fixing in the way that this topic is suggesting. In games of ~30 players, which I think is the ideal server size, massive turtle bases shouldn't become a problem. Therefore, having a 'bomb' summoner attack is something that is unneccesary, especially since there are other methods of best victory (behes rush, chain sac, gate, and shield saccing).
